Bagheera is home!!!

Wow, what a trip! Other than a couple hours shopping at the outlet mall in Jeffersonville (yay for Pottery Barn) and a few stops for food etc, we were on the road for nineteen hours. Robert did all the driving and was amazing but so were Chrystal and Jeanne, it it weren't for their fantastic generosity we would have had to add at least ten more hours to the trip.

Bagheera was a dream in the car. As soon as we left wonderful Jeanne's house we opened up his carrier and let him come out if he wanted. He was a little timid at first but quickly acclimated and spent most of the journey either reclining on the back seat or lying upside down on my lap doing happy paws in the air!

Sadly this comfortable behavior evaporated when we got home and he spent most of Sunday under the bed hiding. I have never had a cat hide before so this was highly distressing for me. Thankfully Ben came to the rescue and sat outside his door that evening cooing which lured him out from under the bed. Bagheera sat quite relaxed by the door and chatted back to Ben.

can you see Ben's paw under the door?

I'm hoping that Bagheera will soon realize that this is a safe, happy place and that there is no need for him to hide or be frightened!

Welcome Bagheera!!!!!We are pretty sure you will be more relaxed when you realize that this is your new home. So many noises and smells to get used to and other kitties!! It will be OK soon, so just relax :)

Simba is exactly right. It is all the cat smells that is making him a little nervous. Give him 4 or 5 days and he will be all right. I had that happen when I fostered Lil Em.Wow, that is a lot of driving. Glad you made it all safe. What good people you are to do that for that handsome Bagheera. Can't wait to hear more news about him.

Bagheera will come out when he feels ready and then we're sure he will join in the fun with gusto. Of course he has just had that epic car journey too.We think he looks a real cutie.Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

So glad all of you made it home safe!! We are sure with a little time and patience - love and treats - Bagheera will come around in no time. Especially since he has so many great examples in his big brothers. :)

That is a long trip for sure, so glad it was safe and that Bagheera travelled so well. Yay for Ben, this time he is the good will kitty! Sending good thoughts and purrs your way for Bagheera to adjust and feel comfortable and all to accept him with ease. So glad he is home with you and has such a wonderful home with so much love!

Welcome sweet baby boy!It sounds as though you will be part of the thundering herd in no time at all. Cat don't give his hiding a second thought.Mitalee hid under the bed for weeks when she first came to us and now she definitely is the queen of her kingdom! :)

Yay! We are so happy that your long journey went well, and that Bagheera is home. We are purring and praying that he'll soon realize he's in his loving forever home. It looks like dear Ben is already working on convincing him of that. :)

Bagheera, you just take your time and adjust...you have had your whole world turned around and we know how much we kitties love change...NOT! You're in a wonderful home, so relax and make friends on YOUR schedule, you have a Mom and Dad to boss around now, hee hee.

Happy Homecoming, Bagheera!!!It shouldn't take him long to feel right at home. He's probably just a bit shy, which is good because you seem to have a very non-aggressive group of guys. I know, being a Mom, you worry.Try to stay calm and let the kitties set the pace.

You go ahead and take your sweet time getting adjusted. Did you know it took our Nigel 4 whole months plus a few days to come out of his safe room and join us? We think that it's amazing you only hid for one day. You are going to LOVE your new family.

Yay!! Welcome to your wonderful forever home, Bagheera! It's great he had a good drive home and happy paws :-)Maybe he was a little overwhelmed when he arrived, but how nice of Ben to care for Bagheera like this. I can see his cue paw under the door :-)

My Niko hid under a dresser for a long time but he eventually came out. I'm sure Bagheera will feel safe and comfortable soon.

Wow that was a long trip, but so worth it, right! I remember when we got Leo from Chrystal we were on the road just 16 hours, not including spending the night in a hotel, but I'd do it all over again! How sweet that Ben is chatting through the door! What a welcome! I'm sure Bagheera will settle in soon and you wont remember being without him. Congratulations!Let's hope this spurs more adoptions from Chrystal! Lots of kitties need homes!

Hi my name is Cat, I have been an animal lover and a cat person in particular ever since I can remember. My sweet cats are the reason I started this little blog. They are the joy of my heart and the children I never had. Nothing makes me happier than talking about them, writing about them and taking pictures of them. I have bored my family and friends for so long that I thought it was time to branch out!
